Hi,

I'm writing this for a family member. He recently had a Kernel Panic on his iMac, tried to resolve it by repairing using the OS snow leopard CD but couldn't. He can access the drive for his files etc but the OS won't boot. He accessed it by connecting it via usb to his iMac, or so he tells me.

The last thing he did was render a video however, it failed, and before shutting down some IE popup came up, after that the next time he booted up it kernel panicked.

Is the drive faulty or is something else the problem?
 
Well he replaced his HDD and updated his RAM. So far so good. He sent me a pic of the kernel log and the dependency was;

com.apple.iokit.iousbfamily(5.1)

He has four USB devices attached, and has never had a problem in the past.
